I've worked multiple weddings at The Delafield Hotel, and it's incredible! As the owner of Beauty Unveiled by Tia, a premier on-location hair and makeup company, I love this sophisticated boutique venue with its charming historic elegance, stunning ballrooms, and beautiful getting ready spaces that make every bridal look shine. Highly recommend! read more

Swanky, upscale, urban vibe in a lake town. I loved it! The suite was styled with matte black ceiling and tall stately windows that framed the beauty of Wisconsin's trees. Clean and fresh...I felt pampered:) Front desk was extremely helpful. I took a class at the beFitness next door. What a magnificent gym! It felt like an upscale lodge. The chance to go again would be a fine thing:) read more

My husband and I went for a romantic long weekend and it was lovely. The building is a mixture of old and new and beautifully decorated. Our room was so large and the bathroom had an amazing two person tub and 3 head shower that we enjoyed very much. The room was filled with drinks and snacks so we did not have to go anywhere. We had dinner at the I.D. In the hotel and I highly recommend it. The atmosphere, food and dessert were amazing !!! We are definitely coming back! read more

PET FRIENDLY! My husband and I had stayed here once in 2011 or so, and I think one time before that. We remembered it being a nice hotel, so decided to stay here for a wedding in Waukesha instead of driving all the way back to Madison. We asked about bringing one of our dogs, as then we would only need someone to watch one of our dogs (only one travels well). They were all for bringing our pup, and just charged a $45 fee in addition to the room price - my last apartment charged me more than that per month, so fine by me! They also told us our pup would have some kind of "amenities" in the room as well. The hotel is beautiful with plenty of parking and for the most part is entirely wheelchair accessible (you have to enter on the side for zero-step entry). The only possible issue is that the shower is not wheelchair accessible, which did not matter to us for one night. It is very possible they have fully 100% accessible rooms, we just never asked because it did not matter for just the night. Also great that you get complimentary access to the fancy fitness club next door! Upon arrival, staff was very nice and our room was great. We got the "smaller/cheaper" of the room options, and it was still very spacious. There was a GIANT dog bed along with two little treats, a toy, and water/food bowls (thank goodness - we forgot bowls!). The dog bed was even comfortable for me to sit on! You could also purchase other dog items (it was their pet "mini bar" with a list of items and prices). The annoying part is that humans didn't get a list of prices for the mini bar. We looked all over the room to figure out prices, but never found them. Kind of annoying, but not the end of the world. We checked in before the wedding as I figured it would be fun to get ready in their big fancy bathroom. The shower was luxurious - had three body spray heads, a regular shower head, and a rain shower in the center. There is no bench/ledge to sit down or shave, though. Despite using all possible shower heads and sprays, the water stayed warm for me. The biggest problem was the lighting - there seemed to be two bright lights over the bathtub and the toilet, but using the mirror was a challenge. The sink did not have much room around it to put your stuff, which was not ideal, and seeing yourself in the mirror to put on makeup was impossible. There is a makeup mirror coming out of the wall, but still the lighting is just not good. The restaurant hours are not super convenient. We were there on a Saturday night, and the bar was open until midnight or later depending on crowds (not sure it's open that late on weekdays). However, they don't open until dinner time even on a weekend, so you're stuck having to leave the hotel if you want to sit down for breakfast. When I'm traveling, I like the ability to do everything in the hotel, so not having meals and bar service at a lot of hours is frustrating. We did have a door hang menu thing where we could order room service breakfast if we selected the time for delivery, but you could not select a specific time and I didn't really want room service. The bed was super comfy, but the pillows were horrendous. I'm not usually picky about my pillows, but your head went straight to the bed through the pillows no matter how you tried to fluff them. I would recommend bringing your own pillow. All that said, the hotel was great and I still give it 5 stars! We would absolutely return again, and I think our pup would too! It is certainly not cheap, but I think you (mostly) get what you pay for. I've had other fancy hotels that can loan you a hair straightener or curling iron if you forget yours, but there was no hair straightener to be had. Their lowest priced room was about $209, but for the occasional night away, it was great. read more

Super nice hotel Cannot wait to come back. Easy parking. Beautiful unique classic building. Smell of wood chips as you enter (in a good way) Front desk extremely pleasant Not a detail to spare in the room. Amazing. Loved every bit of our stay. Booked double master suite. 2 king beds. Beautiful. We could not believe how nice the rooms were. HUGE. Spacious. Bathroom gorgeous with soaking tub with jets. Shower with side jets, hand held and rain hear. Bathroom huge. Large TV with sitting area in front of the beds. Beds, big beautiful and luxurious. Room quiet after hours- could have heard a pin drop Price VERY reasonable. Will be back for sure read more

Beautiful place. Pricey but you expect that. Our room was terrific. ID was terrific. The front desk help was a complete head scratcher. We took a morning walk and when we returned we said "good morning" and they barely noticed us. They have a little complimentary coffee set up. It was 7:50AM and empty. We mentioned it and front desk guy said "we can make more if you want". We said yes please. 15 minutes later came back and saw no coffee. I inquired again and he said "it will take awhile". I finally went in to ID and paid $15 (including tip) for 2 paper cups of coffee. We enjoyed them outside and when we went back in there was still no coffee. All else was good but those guys up front did not provide customer service at all. Again, I'd still stay there because everything else was great. read more

I attended a holiday party here in their hall. The catering was eye pleasing and tasteful. The staff was personable and well organized. Noise is always a hard thing to control in a hall packed with people, so we did have to yell at the person sitting next to you when holding a conversation. This place is perfect for wedding parties too with their nice size dance floor. read more

I had a great time at this property. As someone who travels all of the time I loved this place. Room was amazingly spacious and I got to use the gym next door for free. Room was so clean with a HUGE shower that had a rain shower, and the one that sprays off the wall, I loved it. It also had a 2 person jacuzzi Tub that was amazing. They had Aveda products which was a huge plus. On site restaurant was good and its very walkable to others in the area. read more

Great hotel and really cool rooms. My wife and I stayed for a wedding and thought it was a great space. We weren't able to try the restaurant/bar, but it looked really cool. We'll definitely stay again the next time we're in the area. read more

Chaos Central! Charged for one night seven times incorrectly and then asked to pay for the correct 8th charge without being refunded the prior seven. Room was not allowed to go below 75 degrees, after calling the front desk was then allowed 74 degrees. The staff was very polite with very limited authority so therefore unable to fix anything. read more

Beautiful hotel in downtown delafield. Walking distance to bars, restaurants, stores etc... our room had a huge jetted bathtub and shower. Highly recommend staying here. read more

Stayed here in late October 2022. Was NEVER told there was construction or remodeling going on. Was woken up by LOUD construction or remodeling noise on the floor above me. Called, front desk apologized but said there were necessary changes being made. Noise continued. Didn't even shower, just left. Front desk wouldn't comp my room or even a baseball hat. Called manager, played phone tag, but ultimately never heard back from Erin. Had been so excited to stay here again. Would not recommend after this treatment. read more

The Delafield Hotel was such an amazing experience. The staff was amazing and so welcoming Joe (he did check in) was absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time in WI. However it will surely not be my last! Thank you to all of the staff, the experience and more importantly every single person apart of the Delafied staff read more

This hotel is nice at first glance, but upon further inspection, it's not that clean. The staff, average at best. I would say they were fine, but we spent $450/ night for the suite and no one even said "hello" to us. When I asked for advice about nearby national parks, the guy just said, "I'm sorry, but I have no idea"! Somewhat cool ambience, but in a cheap way... they don't make you feel welcome and there isn't that much to do outside of a few restaurants and a national park. read more

Very nice hotel with great rooms (which you can read about on other reviews). But - in this COVID environment - NONE of the customer facing employees were wearing masks. Seriously. I'd normally give this place like 4-5 stars but they are failing COVID. Don't stay here if you are concerned about COVID. read more

We got married at the Delafield Hotel New Years Eve 2018. We also stayed at the hotel the night before and the night of the wedding. Having the wedding and reception in the same place we were staying was very convenient, as it cuts down on all of the shuttling people around that can make wedding day stressful, and the rooms were very nice for staying in and getting ready in. The Delafield Hotel was a great place to hold a wedding. Everyone was helpful in the planning process, and as we live out of state it was important to have people we could trust at the venue. We had about 130 guests, and there was plenty of room in the ballroom for the ceremony and reception, with a cocktail hour in the room next door as they flipped the room. The food was excellent. During the cocktail hour we especially loved the arancini hors d'ouevres and during dinner our options were the salmon and scallops, the stuffed chicken, and the sweet potato cakes and our guests were impressed with all of the options. The Delafield Hotel also made the cake for our wedding. I was very impressed by the pastry chef's ability to make the cake exactly like I wanted based on a picture and short description of what we wanted. It was also one of the best tasting wedding cakes that I can remember eating (we got chocolate cake with peanut butter filling.) As far as cost goes, while there are venues that are cheaper, it would be very hard to find a venue of this quality at a better price. With the entire event going smoothly, the food being great, and the hotel being a unique and beautiful place for a wedding. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get married in Southeastern Wisconsin. read more

We got married in November 2020 at the delafield and all I can say is amazing things about this place! Hannah kept us on track the entire way on planning the wedding and even helped with suggestions with changing things up with Covid. The day of our wedding, Irene made everything perfect and went above and beyond to make our day special for us! The whole staff here is just incredible! If I had to do it all again I would pick this place again and again! Thank you so much Delafield Hotel! read more

So I needed to stay overnight around Delafield for a triathlon the next day, and seeing I was bringing the "very picky about hotels" girlfriend, I needed to book room somewhere that doesn't have "inn" or "motel" in the name. I finally settled on the Delafield hotel. Now I have stayed in some really nice hotels in NY, LA and Chicago, but this beats them all....by far. I booked the standard room but soon realized that it was far from standard...it was absolutely amazing! We were given a corner room with a bathroom the size of my old apartment. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The bathroom was beyond belief...decked out in marble and granite was a large soaking tub for two (maybe three) and a shower with more nozzles and knobs than I knew what to do with. We will definitely be staying here again as it was well worth it. I just wish I stayed more than 1 night. read more

Great hotel, food and hospitality!! Beautiful rooms, showers, and jacuzzi tubs! Luxury destination with a wonderful authentic small town vibe. read more

Very pleasantly surprised as I knew nothing about the small town. The decor is sophisticated and lovely and contemporary all at the same time. The rooms, suites actually, are much larger than most hotel rooms. The restaurant, I.d., also with amazing decor has great bottles of wine and deliciously appetizing plates that are meant to be shared. read more

When my fam and I are looking for a hotel to stay at in the immediate (familial) area, I'm certain the Delafield Hotel can't be beat. Is it the most expensive? Yes, but... -It's the nicest, amenity wise. The suites are *sweet* with spacious bathrooms and gorgeous jacuzzi tubs (my 2 year old was obsessed with the bubbles and color changing lights). The beds are mighty comfy, and everything was super clean. -The mini bar was surprisingly affordable, as mini bars go. A candy bar for $2? Color me impressed. You can be snacky for a moderate price tag. -The food! The food, both from room service and Andrew's, was delightful and delicious. I gobbled down a sweet potato agnolotti that was out of this world. -The staff, from the servers at Andrew's to the bell people, were incredibly nice and accommodating. -It's really just a lovely, charming hotel situated in adorable downtown Delafield. 'Nuff said. I'm pretty positive I'll be back every holiday season, if not more often! read more

I stayed at the Delafield Hotel for a wedding. There were a few options on hotels and from what I heard other people saying about their hotels, I am glad I chose the Delafield. My room was absolutely huge and we comfortably slept four. We had three tvs (one in the bathroom!), so I can't complain there. It might be one of the pricier hotels in the area, but I'd recommend it. read more

A friend's wedding was held here and I was really impressed with everything. While we did not stay in the hotel, my friends who did said the rooms were huge and nice. It's a really lovely space for a wedding with several rooms to use. After the ceremony in the main room, we all convened in a side room for cocktails and light appetizers while they changed the room over for the buffet. All of the staff were friendly and efficient. I was most impressed with the food and drinks. It was buffet style with two meat stations, a potato bar, and dessert bar. They served the best sweet potatoes I've ever had. And if that wasn't enough, staff regularly made the rounds with heavy appetizers that were all delicious, too. read more

Going to keep this direct and to the point. When I am in Milwaukee I stay here. Yes, it is 25 miles west of the city. This is the best hotel around. No it does not have point programs. No, it does not have free breakfast. If you want great service, great comfort, great wine, great food, in a great town, this is the place. read more

My wife and I attended a weddding at a private home near Delafield, WI so I got on hotels.com and got a great rate at the Delafield hotel. We also were celbrating our Aniversay and the news that we were pregnant for the second time. The Room was supurb, the service was beyond impecable and the resturant was worth every penny. I disagree with the person who said the towels were bad, they were very nice in our room. Delafield is a sleepy little wisconsin town near a lot of lakes, very nice for kicking back and just relaxing. Here is the reason the hotel gets that fifth star. Seeing it was our aniversay I ordered flowers from 1800flowers.com (DON"T EVER USE THEM). I orderd them to be waiting with chocolates when we were to arrive to supprise her. Some how they found a way to screw up the order, so nothing was there when we arrived. After arguing with 1800flowersneverdelieversontimeoreverl I went down to the front desk and asked if she could put an order of flowers in with a local florist for a morning delievery and proceeded to explain my displesure with 1800....well you know...... We proceeded to grab dinner. At dinner up walked a friendly waitriss asking how things were going even though she wasn't ours. Next thing I know up walks a vase full of a dozen roses and a plate of chocolates. Turns out the front desk gal, Brianna, talked to the owner and then they proceded to track down some roses and chocolates. I was blown away, the hotel ended up saving the day. so basically to those giving a poor review, I challenge you to find many more hotels that would do anything remotely like this. read more

First class all the way feels like staying in someone's mansion first time here in summer the air didn't work well and now we are staying for free ( their apologies) Now that's service! And we never usually complain unless It's something major Excellent 1st class clean rooms read more

I've had the pleasure to stay in some great hotels when traveling, thanks to work and some really nice friends and family. This is one of the best- and I'm grateful for the conference I got to attend. :) Okay- first things first. This is in the middle of nowhere, but the nowhere is beautiful. Very lush and green, so it's strange that such a nice place is available. The room was gorgeous, comfortable and spacious. The ONLY complaint I have is that the bed posts are so large, that I FREAKING BROKE MY TOE ON IT WHEN GOING TO THE BATHROOM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I'm not using hyperbole- I BROKE MY TOE!!!!!!!!!!!! Many expletives and two months of not running later, the little guy is healed up- but, I tell you what that bathroom is worth it! Awesome Jacuzzi tub and amazing multiple head shower, DANG- that right there almost made the whole trip. The bar downstairs is stocked with some great bourbons and scotch, which also helped numb the pain of mah toe. The place was spotless, quiet and the staff was so accommodating. If you don't mind staying a half hour out of Milwaukee when traveling- I would definitely recommend...if you can afford it. read more

Since my husband and I were getting married at St. John's in Delafield, we figured staying at the Delafield hotel would be perfect for us and our guests. It was close and beautiful. We set up our room block and made reservations for ourselves and bridal party for the night before the wedding. Everything was going fine until a few weeks before the wedding when we found out that rooms had been taken away from our room block and given to other people. Also, my sister was informed that her reservation for the night of the wedding had accidently been made for the night before, and all rooms at the hotel were booked. These weren't huge issues, and I got over them. However, the night before the wedding, I showed up with my bridal party to check into our room before the rehearsal began. With my dress in hand, I was informed that they had no record of any reservations for us and that the hotel was completely booked, even though I was sent a confirmation number and email months before. Furious, I left the hotel to attend the rehearsal while my sister stayed back to figure something out. Luckily, we were placed in a room, but had the same issue the following night when our other reservation mysteriously disappeared. When asked for a price adjustment on our rooms for all the issues, we were offered cookies instead. We agreed, and never received them. For such a nice hotel, you would think they could get their act together. Would definitely not recommend this hotel! read more

The Delafield could easily be rated a 5 star hotel with a couple improvements. First the positives: The staff: Incredibly helpful, friendly, thoughtful. This includes the room service staff who are fabulous. The bed: Very comfortable, choices of pillows. The shower: Great, multiple head, flexible hose shower head, rain shower head. Glass enclosed, not a curtain. Bathroom: Very large, double sinked, magnifying makeup mirror. Also has a TV which doesn't appeal to me, but might to some. The challenges: Room lighting: The only light in the room comes from a table lamp on the desk and one on the nightstand. Inadequate even during the day as the windows are very small, allowing in not much natural light. As an aside, the bulb in one lamp burned out my first night (and was promptly replaced), the second lamp's bulb burned out the next morning. Furnishings: Very dated. The desk chair is like a wooden dining room chair. Virtually impossible to do computer work sitting on it for very long. The TV: There's an extremely small TV and the only real places to watch it would be an easy chair or the bed. Either one is way too far away from the TV for a good viewing experience. Room service: The staff is wonderful. The food, however, is varied. My dinner entree (beef tenderloin sandwich) was quite good. The Caesar salad which accompanied it, was terrible...inedible. Sopped in dressing that wasn't typical Caesar salad dressing, made with some lettuce or greens that weren't romaine, and had two types of nuts in it. This should come off the menu! Breakfast the next morning was very good .... Coffee provided by room service is excellent; that from the little machine in the room,not so much. Overall, I would definitely stay here again as it is charming and the positive features well outweigh the challenges. read more

Ridiculously beautiful and fabulous hotel that is worth every penny. Beautiful décor, thoughtful design, perfect location, and amazing staff. High ceilings, modern bathrooms, posh sitting areas, and a high-end restaurant downstairs. Josh was kind enough to send a bottle of champagne to our room since my mother and I were here to attend her sister's funeral. We were too drunk to drink it because the folks at nearby Waterford winery (amazing selection and very reasonable) and "Belfre" restaurant were so good to us, too. We have fond memories of Delafield, and I personally can't wait to return to this hotel (from California) for a romantic trip. Pretty surrounding area with a combination of stately, turn of the century buildings and surrounding wilderness, a winding river; just peacefulness. Thank you Josh; thank you, Delafield Hotel. read more

Stayed here for the second time for our wedding anniversary. The rooms are beautiful and relaxing. When I booked the room, I specifically checked their COVID-19 protocols to make sure I was comfortable staying here. It said they were using enhanced cleaning protocols (not true unless you are only staying for one night, I guess) and requiring masks in public areas (not true, other than a sign in the lobby.) Complaint 1: On day one, we left the room at 11 am. I called the front desk and said we would be out of the room for a few hours, could housekeeping please come while we were gone? I was told they could. We returned to the room at 3 pm. Housekeeping had not been there. Called the front desk, asked if we left again, could housekeeping come by 4? Again I was told yes. when we returned at 4:25, the room had still not been cleaned. Asked to speak to a manager, was told there was not one on site. Explained my complaint to the desk staff, who said the housekeeping staff was very busy and they can't guarantee when they will come. Yet check in is at 3 pm, so all newly-occupied rooms should be clean by then, right? Isn't the housekeeping service part of the room rate? Also, if they can't guarantee a timeframe for housekeeping if you are an overnight guest, shouldn't that be communicated so we can plan accordingly? Complaint 2: There were multiple wedding parties at the hotel during our stay. Almost no one was wearing a mask in the lobby. I asked the front desk to confirm if masks were required in common areas? She said yes, but they can't enforce it. I told her I understand they can't force people to do it, but they could at least ASK people to put them on. Her response was, "that's not our job." I said it's not my job either, and I specifically chose this hotel based on the health protocols it said you were enforcing. At this point I was ready to leave and asked for my second night to be comped. I was told again by the very rude desk staff that they aren't allowed to comp anything but we could call the manager on Monday. To the manager: I will most definitely be calling you on Monday for a partial refund. To the owner: please don't advertise things that you aren't going to enforce or provide. We won't be returning, which is a shame because our first stay was lovely. read more

We came for a little getaway before our next baby arrives (next month!!) - it was everything I hoped for and more. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully furnished. Staff was kind, professional, and very helpful. The jacuzzi tub, separate rain shower, and Aveda products are INCREDIBLE!! I feel super relaxed and recharged and would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Stayed here for my anniversary. Probably the most beautiful, cool, unique hotel I've ever been inside. The bed was huge and comfortable and the bathroom... O.M.G. It had a gigantic bath tub with strong jets and bubbles. We both fit comfortably in the tub and honestly I could have stayed in there all night. The bathroom was also stocked with all Aveda products which is always a great touch, so after I got out of my bath I covered myself in Aveda lotion and got in bed. My body has never felt so relaxed. The room and dinner at the i.d. restaurant downstairs made this staycation literally the best hotel experience I've ever had in my life. I will recommend the Delafield Hotel to anyone that wants to get away for the weekend and relax. read more

Attended a wedding reception at the Delefield Hotel several weeks ago and the facility, food, decor, and service were fantastic. Bartenders were very helpful, tidy, and friendly. Food was fantastic. Spoke with bride who told me she was very happy with facility as well. As another reviewer said - it has that Ralph Lauren look and feel which is correct considering the rather upscale neighborhood that it is in. read more

Quality food with innovative flavors , yet pricey and just missing the mark. You can expect a fine meal with attentive service .

This is a beautiful hotel. Unfortunately I can't recommend it for two reasons. First, our room was very cold - they did bring a space heater which helped. Second, we were given room 211 on a Saturday night. At 2:15 am the pounding loud dance music from a wedding being held here still has not ended. This was for us a much needed getaway and opportunity for some downtime. Not being able to sleep or enjoy quiet time is extremely disappointing. read more

Nice hotel and amenities but there TVs were preset to fake news, CNN. That was the only negative.

I arrived a few hours early for a job interview. They apparently couldn't get my room cleaned in under two hours. Hotel is a boutique hotel but not that great. I'd rather be at a Marriott hotel. No breakfast or evening happy hr which is typical for this type of hotel. read more
